For over 50 years our main focus has been to serve our clients and ensure their happiness. By narrowing our focus on the culture of our clients’ needs it has helped us to become incredibly diverse in both our knowledge and design skill sets. Over the course of this year we’re thrilled to showcase some of the things that make us unique and unify us as a company. What inspires us? How do we elevate our services above the basics? What is good sustainable design.
Well to answer those questions we must look into the leadership and people here at CALA because after all, our core values revolve around our team and the sense of family we foster within our organization. Not only are we focusing on showcasing our staffs unique talents and our One Company culture, we also made some changes to continue our efforts of growing the LA industry, including:
- We are officially opening a new office in Reno! Yay! This has been long overdue, and we are excited to begin this new journey with our CALAfam.
- We have had a change in Leadership. Ben Woodside, who has been with CALA for 26 years (the start of his career!) is now our firm’s President.
- Our internship program was so successful last year, that we have decided to permanently make it a part of our culture. We are looking forward to meeting new faces and bringing on 3 summer interns to help them learn and grow within the landscape architecture profession.
2023 was a big year for us at CALA as we celebrated our 50th anniversary! We’re incredibly excited to carry forward that momentum and achieve even greater success in 2024. Thank you for your continued support and we look forward to sharing our year with you.
Fun fact about Ben – he has never had to put together a portfolio! While at Cal Poly, he interned at CALA and then was hired by Peter Callander right after graduation!
